Have you ever wondered what a Pelvic PT uses for treatment? Like, does everyone need a set of vaginal weights, or an insertable wand to release tight muscles? And electric stimulation for the pelvic floor... what the what?!
In today’s episode, Blair and I talk about some common tools that you might find in a pelvic PT's toolbox, and who they might help and why.
1:39 Lube, knowing the differences between the three types of lube and the pros and cons of each. Brands we love: Good Clean Love, Uber Lube, Desert Harvest. More lube options here.
9:24 Arousal Nonconcordance, Wet = aroused, right? Not as often as we are led to believe, hormones play a huge part, especially for postpartum moms.
I highly recommend EVERYONE read the book:
Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski, Ph.D.
16:21 Vaginal Weights/Yoni Cones, Intimate Rose is a great brand
22:49 Pelvic Wands, vibrating and regular
31:56 Dilators
37:25 the Ohnut, can help control depth of penetration during intercourse
39:16 Squatty Potty
45:09 Splinting for Prolapse
52:48 Pessaries
61:25 E-Stim & Biofeedback
70:43 Bladder Pads vs Menstrual Pads, what's the difference
*Disclaimer* neither Blair nor I are in any way sponsored by any of these companies/products. We are just providing, with our best knowledge, information that you should consider but not take as medical advice.
We covered a lot of stuff here, but if we missed something you have questions about - reach out and ask!
